A New York Post writer argues that gay is the new black, so black people should be fighting homophobia for that reason alone. Equal rights! Equal rights!

All you really need to know about next week’s Glee is Santana and Quin are back.

Sarah Paulsontalked with The AV Club about the end of American Horror Story: Asylum and she said she did some research into how homosexuality was seen in the 1950s:

I did research it, a little bit. I researched more about the aversion-conversion therapy [in which someone tries to get a homosexual to associate unpleasant things with images they desire], but not extensively, because it was relatively new at the time, and I didn’t want to be well-versed in it. Because then I think that Lana would have said, “I’m not doing this, because I know what it is.” I didn’t want to be very well-read about it. But I certainly read about what it meant to be gay in that time. I did think about that, although my character was less terrified than my lover’s character on the show. Wendy was much more concerned, because she worked with young children. It was enough of a terror for her that she signed me away. I certainly read a lot about it, but it was always in my mind that Lana didn’t go around talking about it, but she wasn’t quite as secretive as Wendy was.

Wendy, of course, was her lover, played by Clea DuVall. No word on how much research she did for the role.
